Dow Jones Changes to Reflect Tech Heavy Economy
from the bye-bye-sears dept
Well, well, as of next Monday, companies like Sears and Goodyear will not have as big a say in stating how the market is doing. They're both being removed from the Dow Jones index in favor of companies like Microsoft and Intel. Probably true that this will better represent the business done in the US, but it might make the index a bit more volatile.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
